Door mirrors??

The morning as I was coming down Craigleith Hill Avenue, a driver woman saw me coming so reversed out of her driveway ahead of and set off down the road at speed slower than I was already. Nothing unusual in that, happens all the time, I get my own back in the evening when I make them follow me up the hill :twisted: . No the odd thing about this driver was that she had both door mirrors folded into the car, what does she thing they are for?? Obviously not for looking in. There are some people who should never be allowed on the roads.

    A lot of women do this, it is so they can get their make up right.

    Door mirrors are for smashing when the fuckers carve you up or threaten you.

    Hairy Jock, see CarKiller's reply. This is why she saw you and then left her mirrors folded in ;)

    She probably has wazzy auto-foldo mirrors which get out of the way so they don't get damaged when parking or left on the street... and she probably forgot to flip 'em out again.

    I agree with CarKiller. door mirrors are foot fodder when they are stick in traffic after trying ti kill you.

    I think they were manual flip mirrors, and she was just in such a rush after she saw you, that she didn't have time to fold them out before she HAD to leap in her car and get ahead of you. It's RULE NUMBER 1 you know.
